Hours come from the temple's own site where it publishes them, and otherwise from its verified Google Maps listing. Temples change their timings for festivals and for the seasons without announcing it, so telephone ahead if the trip depends on it.

What this temple is known for

The main Khatu Shyam shrine in Bhiwandi, rated 4.8 from about 700 reviews. There is parking on site and drinking water for visitors.

Worth knowing before you go

No trust, founder, founding year, website or telephone number is published anywhere we looked. Some listings place this temple on Indraprastha Road in Temghar or on Kalyan Road; those addresses do not match the coordinates. Do not confuse it with Shree Deep Jyoti Khatu Shyamji Dham in Kalyan West, about ten kilometres away.

Festivals here

This temple does not publish a calendar of its own. Shyam Baba is honoured on the same days everywhere: Phalgun Mela in spring, the janmotsav on Devuthani Ekadashi, and every Shukla Ekadashi. Crowds in Bhiwandi follow those dates.
